IMPRQVEMEN'I" IN MILK-seems:-

in the county of Clinton and `State of Michigan, have invented a new and use f'ul Improvement'in Milk- Safes; and I do declare that the following is a true and'accurate description thereof', reference being hadl to the accompanying drawing. aud to the letters of' reference marked thereon and being a part of this specification. k n

Figure 1 is a perspective view of' my invention. Figure 2 is ajtransvcrse section. ,i Like letters indicate like parts in each ligure. The nature ot' this invention relates to the construe` fion of milk-safes; and` i Its objectis to dispensefwitlr a large amount of labor, time, and room employedin handling milk, and

to secure the greatest amount ot profit .from the'r door, vB. The walls of this chamber maybe made of' propel' shaped frame-work, covered with wi re or other gauze, andthe door properly hinged, and provided with a suitable fastening.

The `top and bottom of this chamber should be prot vided with holes f'or ventilating purposes, and over Athe holes in the top may be placed a ventilator, G.

1) is an upright square shaft, journaledat top and i bottom tothe top-and bottom of' the chamber.

At suitable distancesapart are secured to the -shaf't the transversevclcatsa, to form supports upon which to place pans of' milk. l

y1 claim the following to Ybe the advantages in a milk-safe of7` this 1 construction over those ordinarily em ploycd By placing thepans upon the cleats, arranged one 'above another, to as great a height as desirable and instead of'l breadth of' shelves.

By placing the pans close together around a com-v mon center, the air maybe brought to bear alike upon them all. Y l t The convenience ot'- the revolving shaft is too plain to need a word of comment. Its journals should be so made that it may be removed wheuldesired.

l The means providedv for ventilation will let the steam and animal heat in the milk pass of? at the top, while the cooler air of' the cellar .inwhich the safe perature in the shortest time, while the draught from bottom to top will prevent the collection of mold upon t-he milk.v Y Should at any time the air be too cold, a lamp or heating apparatus, of' any convenient form, may be placed under the saf'e, when the air warmed thereby will pass upward through the openingszin the bottom, and rapidly change the Atenlperatm'e of' the milk'.

That `I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

Tile vcombination of' the rotary shaf't D, provided with transverse cleats ,oetagoual or polygonal chamber L provided with ventilator C, with an orifice in vthe floor ot' said chamber, and with walls covered with wire or other ganze, when the several parts'are constructed and arranged to operate as above described.v v JAMES H.
